Haha, my discs remain in mint condition at all times, and I don't listen to mp3s. However, shit digipaks are a freaking nightmare. I especially hate the ones printed on the kind of glossy cardboard that take a fingerprint before you finger has even touched it. Argh!

You can only go so far. Given that I'll never ever sell my CD collection, some things aren't that bad. But I hate damaged stuff! OCD much?

Yes! Exactly!
And the Avantasia digipaks are the glossy type, ugh! HATE!

Oh, damn... I really prefer digipaks over jewel cases (I swear, one out of every five jewel cases I buy falls apart the moment I open it ), but the whole fingerprints thing is the ONE THING about them that drives me nuts. And the color seriously CHIPS? I've never seen that before, but that doesn't sound very pleasant. Thanks for the info!
